THE HOUSE FELL DOWN -- ELTON JOHN, "The Captain and the Kid"(2006)
INTRO
C minorCm | Ab7Ab7 | Bb majorBb G/BG/B | C minorCm
Cm9Cm9 | Ab7Ab7 | Bb majorBb G7G7 | C minorCm
("ah-ha-ha-ha..."
(in time)
C minorCm | Fm/C C minorCm | C minorCm | Fm/C C minorCm |
VERSE
C minorCm Ab7Ab7
The sun is up and the shades are all pulled down
Bb majorBb G/BG/B C minorCm
I'm more paranoid with every little sound
C minorCm Ab7Ab7
Like the leaf blower blowing the leaves around
G7G7 C minorCm
And a siren wailing on the other side of town
VERSE
C minorCm Ab7Ab7
Oh the TV's on and the colors really hurt my head
Bb majorBb G/BG/B C minorCm
If I could think straight I'd wish that I was dead
C minorCm Ab7Ab7
Or curled up naked in my lover's bed
G7G7 C minorCm
Instead I'm hanging over Hell suspended by a single thread
CHORUS
Fm7Fm7 Bb majorBb
And I don't recall who said it at this time
AbAb Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb
That your enemies grow strong on what you leave behind
Fm7Fm7 Bb majorBb
I built it up and the wolf he came around
AbAb Eb MajorEb
He huffed and puffed, he huffed and puffed
G7/D
He huffed and puffed,
C minorCm Fm7Fm7 G7G7 C minorCm
He huffed and puffed and the house fell down
INSTRUMENTAL
C minorCm | Fm/C C minorCm | C minorCm | Fm/C C minorCm |
VERSE
C minorCm Ab7Ab7
With a rolled up note I'm hovering on that line
Bb majorBb G/BG/B C minorCm
Three days on a diet of cocaine and wine
C minorCm Ab7Ab7
And a little weed just to level me sometime
G7G7 C minorCm
I put the clock in the drawer 'cause I've cancelled out the time
CHORUS
Fm7Fm7 Bb majorBb
And still that saying gets inside my head
AbAb Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb
That your enemies grow strong on what you leave behind
Fm7Fm7 Bb majorBb
I built it up and the wolf he came around
AbAb Eb MajorEb
He huffed and puffed, he huffed and puffed
G7/D
He huffed and puffed,
C minorCm Fm7Fm7 G7G7 C minorCm
He huffed and puffed and the house fell down
BREAKDOWN
Am7b5Am7b5
So don't knock on my door, don't try to call
Ab7Ab7
I'm holed up in this room talking to the wall
Am7b5Am7b5
When you're as high as this you think you know it all
Ab7Ab7 G+G G/AG/A G/BG/B G/AG/A G7G7
When you're this deep in there's no place else to fall
INSTRUMENTAL
C minorCm | Ab7Ab7 | Bb majorBb G/BG/B | C minorCm
"I'm bottoming out"
C minorCm | Ab7Ab7 | G7G7 | C minorCm
CHORUS
Fm7Fm7 Bb majorBb
And I don't recall who said it at this time
AbAb Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb
That your enemies grow strong on what you leave behind
Fm7Fm7 Bb majorBb
I built it up and the wolf he came around
AbAb Eb MajorEb
He huffed and puffed, he huffed and puffed
G7/D
He huffed and puffed,
C minorCm Fm7Fm7 G7G7 C minorCm
He huffed and puffed and the house fell down
Fm7Fm7 Bb majorBb
And still that saying gets inside my head
AbAb Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb
That your enemies grow strong on what you leave behind
Fm7Fm7 Bb majorBb
I built it up and the wolf he came around
AbAb Eb MajorEb
He huffed and puffed, he huffed and puffed
G7/D
He huffed and puffed,
C minorCm Fm7Fm7 G7G7 C minorCm
He huffed and puffed and the house fell down
Fm7Fm7 G7G7 C minorCm
And the house fell down
